Tribute DX 3.2L V6

Tribute started to hard start misfire and die. I would have to start it multiple times in winter to get it warmed up. Would idle rough and struggle when cold. Got a tune, replaced spark plugs, MAF, EGR, Oil changes to semi synthetic but nothing worked. This car had no leaks at all either. Just a crappy Ford engine. It also was a pig on gas with the AWD which was off most of the time.

The engine is shaking and misfiring. Seriously, I believe I took this car to the dealers about a year or two ago for the same problem. Yet it still has this problem. Seriously what the hell is wrong with it.
